Urtica dioica

organic nettle

plant overview

spring tonic and seasoning

Nettle is a perennial plant that thrives in woodlands and other shady areas
throughout Europe and eastern North America. It is also called stinging
nettle because the leaves are lined with stinging hairs that inject
histamine into the skin when handled or brushed against, although they
readily drop off when introduced to hot water or steam. Nettle is one of the
first herbs to emerge in early spring and because the leaves are rich in
calcium and other nutrients, it is considered a valuable tonic herb. While
whole leaves are cooked like spinach or roasted to make crisp snack chips,
dried nettle is used in teas or simply sprinkled into cooked foods and
smoothies.
